DD loves puffs & cheerios. I started giving her puffs at 7 months and cheerios just the other day because we ran out of puffs. She did really well with both and she "chews" them. But the really dissolve.?
I give Avery puffs but she gags on them. She doesn't like them. She loves cheerios though. She can't quite pick them up yet. (I have to give them to her) But I offer them so she can practice.
I started giving DD puffs about 6 1/2 months. She's never had a problem with them and LOVES them! I just started giving her cherrios yesterday and she loves them as well.
I gave DS puffs at about 7.5 months. I was super paranoid about him gagging for some reason. He did great with them the first time and now I have to hide the container...
Started with Cheerios last week and he did great with those as well.
About 7 months. Our ped recommended starting with Cheerios. They dissolve just as quickly, but they also have the hollow center, so they are less of a choking risk. We tried Puffs around the same time, but he loved his Cheerios, so we just gave him those since they were safer.
